I am afraid I am seeing a trend in the restaurant business, no wait service. We went to Ledos in Countryside and the hostess stand simply said "seat yourself". No wait staff in sight. Oh No! this is one of those places! I have go to the counter and order and bring my own beer back to the table. I do not enjoy this trend, when I go out I want someone to bring me my beer. I need someone to bring me my beer. Well I will to get off my soapbox and get to the review of their pizza. Their menu shows the prices for thin crust but they do offer a thicker crust so we went with a thick (would be considered a meduim crust at most places) crust with sausage, mushrooms and green peppers. Of course, we had to go and retrieve the pizza from the counter when our number was called (they dont even use your name). The pizza was very good with a nice crispy crust. the sausage was not spicy but was still tasty. The veggies and cheese were fresh. However, the best part was the the sauce as it was sweet but not overpowering the pizza.
Overall, the pizza was very good, not top 5 but probably top 6. Of what I would I would consider "neighborhood pizza places", not the deep dish or famous chains, this would be #1. If I lived nearby I would have this pizza again.

Hi Gary I love this blog I have had a lot of fun trying some of these places out. I know you are getting close to 52 - two places I would recommend are "art of Pizza" on 3033 N Ashland Ave in town - this is pretty gourmet but very good pizza. The other one you cannot miss is my family's favorite - Nick's Pizza & Pub in Elgin (I think there is a second one in Crystal Lake) the building is very cool and the thin pizza is my favorite. They also have a 'double decker' similar to one you already reviewed.
Hope you get a chance to check em out.
